I bet you didn’t know there’s actually another Craigslist Killer. No, we’re not talking about Phillip Markoff this week, we’re talking about someone equally as scary: Richard Beasley. Richard Beasley started a life of crime from a pretty young age and while on the run from the cops he decided it would be easier to kill someone and take their identity than to actually serve time for the crimes he’d committed. He manipulated a young man he had become friends with through CHURCH of all places, Brogan Rafferty, into helping him. Together Rich and Brogan carried out 4 murder plans and killed 3 innocent men who thought they were responding to a craigslist ad asking for a farm hand.
